Chapter 168 It turns out that Xiao Yang can write songs! (3/3 ask for a monthly ticket)
"Xiao Yang, your name is Yang Qian. Are you the same person as the Yang Qian above, or is it a coincidence?"
Yang Qian was once again surrounded by a group of old celebrities, and he also felt guilty about being caught by the teacher while secretly playing with his mobile phone in class - because he was still holding the mobile phone in his hand, and the screen of the mobile phone was showing Dai Yu
The selfie photo Ni took of him studying in the library had not even had time to be crossed out...
"This, I am Yang Qian, and the one above is me too."
Yang Qian pressed the power off button, locked the screen directly, and placed it flat on the console.
Out of politeness, he still stood up and admitted his identity with some embarrassment to James and other old celebrities.
"Did you really write this song? Aren't you from the TV station?"
Lu Miao looked at Yang Qian in disbelief. Although he was the first person to notice this "coincidence", from just now until now, he thought it was really just a coincidence!
Others had similar reactions. They all thought that a song like "Keep the Roots" was the work of a songwriter who was over fifty years old.
After all, the music style is too old, and young people nowadays don’t like this outdated feeling.
But who would have known that not only was this songwriter not over fifty, he was not even over half of fifty!
At this time, looking at Yang Qian, who was only in his early twenties, they really felt a sense of absurdity in their hearts.
"It's really him. Next year when teachers record songs, he will also be the producer on site!"
You Yi was standing by to testify for Yang Qian.
"But why did you pick me up?"
Zhan Boyue still feels strange, who would arrange for a songwriter to receive other singers?
No matter how big a record company is, they wouldn’t dare to insult people like this, right?
"Because while I am the creator of this song, I am also an employee of our Guangdong TV station and the documentary editing department. Today, in order to receive all the teachers, even the leaders of several of our departments have gone to battle. Of course, I have to do my best.
share of strength.”
Yang Qian's explanation still made it difficult for several old celebrities to let go.
How come a musician who can write a song like "Keep the Roots" is still just an ordinary clerk in a TV station?
It's not that there's anything bad about the TV station.
Many celebrities in Hong Kong City relied on television stations for their development. During the heyday of Hong Kong City's entertainment industry, artists would form various companies to compete with television stations.
However, after the entertainment industry in Hong Kong City declined rapidly, apart from some people who knew how to go north to look for opportunities, the remaining ones who clung to Hong Kong City could only survive under the banner of the TV station and beg for a living.
But no matter what, a talented person shouldn't be just a clerk. At least he should sign an artist contract with a TV station!
The TV station in Guangdong Province is so big and powerful that they can’t even look down on a promising songwriter?
Of course, the celebrities present are all well-connected, and they will definitely not speak out if they offend their sponsors or officials.
Soon, they returned to the recording studio and prepared to practice "Keep the Roots" from scratch under Yang Qian's guidance.
"How many faces are blank and drifting..."
As soon as Lu Miao's singing came out at the beginning, Yang Qian, who was standing outside wearing monitoring headphones, couldn't help but nodded.
It’s not that Lu Miao’s singing skills are so breathtaking. The veteran’s singing skills are not bad, and his bel canto accent gives people an indescribable sense of beauty.
But it's not like Yang Qian is full of praise. After all, he is a Hong Kong singer and his Mandarin pronunciation is very problematic.
However, Yang Qian could tell that Teacher Lu Miao had done some detailed homework before coming to Yangcheng.
Because his singing style is completely imitated from the studio version of the "Veteran Chorus", it is impossible for Yang Qian's teachers to sing exactly according to the original singing style envisioned by Yang Qian. They each have their own singing habits that cannot be changed. Yang Qian
I said it many times, but finally gave up and could only let them sing with their own characteristics.
This is also the reason why Lu Miao imitated the bel canto accent!
“In order to live, people run around everywhere,
But in fate, they are intertwined..."
The second sentence was sung by Xiniya, and her pronunciation still had a slight flaw, but compared to her pronunciation just now, it has improved a lot.
Yang Qian was able to confirm that she, like Lu Miao, had done her homework in advance and even found someone to correct the Mandarin pronunciation of these lyrics.
In fact, not only Xiniya and Lu Miao, but other old celebrities are very dedicated. Everyone has learned this song, and they didn't just sing it immediately.
"Year after year, ah, my whole life is just for this day."
Finally it was Zhan Boyue's turn to sing, and he sang very nicely. The old singer's skills were obviously very good. His voice was not as clear and bright as when he was young, but his timbre was still delicate and gentle.
However, Yang Qian wanted to laugh when he saw him habitually swaying his body when singing, as if he was about to do a square dance.
So interesting!
Teacher Zhan's singing is not bad at all, but his body movements are very entertaining.
Yang Qian didn't dare to read more, for fear that he would be so absorbed in it that he would forget to listen carefully to the song.
Of course, Yang Qian felt very relaxed discussing music with these seniors in the music industry.
The previous worries about whether they would rely on their old age to show off their talents, or whether the big-name celebrities in Hong Kong City would look down on themselves as a nobody, did not appear.
Even Xenia and Kong Qiang, two singers who were already diva-level singers thirty years ago, are quite friendly in conversation.
There is a sense of distance, but Yang Qian thinks that is just a normal situation. After all, not everyone can have a smooth chat with any staff member like the enthusiastic and easy-going Teacher Zhan.
"Xiao Yang, if you have anything wrong with your singing, just say it. These are all veteran singers. Who hasn't been scolded by the producer during recording?"
After Zhan Boyue finished speaking, several other old singers laughed and said that it was okay for Yang Qian to just say it.
"Let me start with the arias that you are each responsible for. Let me talk about Sister Nia first."
Yang Qian wanted to call her Teacher Xi, but Xiniya still wanted to be strong as she grew older, so she wanted young people to call her Sister Niya, which was more palatable.
Although she is almost the age of Grandma Yang Qian.
"Sister Nia actually sings very well, and her pronunciation of the lyrics is also very standard. It's just a fate. This mistake was caused by the pronunciation of cuo, not Shuo."
Yang Qian always communicates with them in Mandarin. As a reporter, he has passed the first-class Mandarin proficiency test certificate.
Here he teaches pronunciation to several veteran singers with common Hong Kong pronunciation problems, and they are still qualified.
As for the singing part, Yang Qian simply pointed out some old problems that existed during the "Veteran Chorus" period.
But the meticulousness and professionalism he showed, as well as his good memory, made James and others couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
"Now we believe it's not a coincidence!"
Lu Miao smiled.
"Xiao Yang sings well, but I don't see your name on it."
Kong Qiang asked confused.
She was just wondering if the Guangdong TV station didn't pay enough attention to Yang Qian!
Now after listening to several of Yang Qian's demonstrations, Kong Qiang also judged that Yang Qian's singing skills are not bad and his voice condition is also very good. With the current entertainment industry's relatively low threshold, it is obvious that becoming a star is not a problem.
What's more, he still has creative ability!
For such an outstanding music talent, any record company would be willing to sign it with a big bargaining chip. Why did the Guangdong TV station let him work as a clerk and do odd jobs?
What's the difference between Yang Qian's reception work and doing odd jobs?
"Because I was only born in 1998, and there was no me in 1997!"
Yang Qian explained half-jokingly and half-seriously.
In fact, it is almost for this reason that this time stars from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places gathered together to record the ending song of the documentary, which can be regarded as a replica of the grand event of the art performance celebrating the return of the country - there will be a big party on Sunday.
In terms of qualifications, Yang Qian couldn't squeeze in among so many big stars who have been famous for a long time. In terms of age, he was not even born at that time. It would be strange to put him in to sing!
But Kong Qiang was not satisfied with this answer. She had already preconceived the idea that Yang Qian was not taken seriously by Guangdong TV stations. Even if he was taken seriously, such an outstanding musician should sign with a major record company and follow the correct path of music development.
"Xiao Yang, apart from the song "Keep the Roots", have you ever composed any other songs?"
Kong Qiang vaguely wanted to take the exam, but she didn't show it clearly. She just asked when everyone started chatting about music.
"Yes, from last year to now, I have written about ten songs! Some are in Mandarin and some in Cantonese."
Yang Qian took out his mobile phone and wanted to show them the songs he uploaded on the music platform.
